Good fertility recommendations start with good soil testing. We believe soil sampling should be performed every 4 years, with probes taken in 7” depths in which the soil tests labs base their data analysis upon.

For our geography, in Western Illinois - grid soil sampling on 2.5 acre grid sizes is showing much merit in sound fertility recommendations; and variable rating lime, phosphorus, and potassium if needed.

Yield goals and crop rotation play an important part in proper fertility recommendations so the communication between the retailer and grower are critical.
